my sec d mare is 25/26years old and still in ridden work (she thrives on it) she came with all her tack and was ridden in a dutch gag. her previous owner said she needs it as shes strong when jumping and has had it for 5/6 years. i wont be jumping her and yes she is strong but contollable.
lately when we have been hacking out she has been throwing her head about if i dont give her any head which i cant otherwise she jogs everywhere and doesnt stop! also she leans on me. im just wondering if a change in bit would help in anyway as its starting to ruin our rides. shes quite forward going and i thought maybe a grackle nose band might help her pulling so much? with it being on the poll.
can anyone give any advice on which bits best?
